want to hear an amazing story? so as a child growing up in south-central los angeles, larry elder had a secret. elder's father, who was a janitor, was black. so was elder's mother. so were 80% of the people in their neighborhood and all appearances, larry elder seemed black too. that is with the people around him always assumed. little did they know that this child of south central, apparently an african-american in good standing was in fact a secret agent working on behalf of global white supremacy. what an assignment. a white supremacist in south-central, imagine that. and for more than 50 years no one had any idea this was going on. larry elder spent decades in the public eye as a radio show host and not one person during that time guessed the terrible truth. and then last month, the crack investigative team at the "los angeles times" finally broke the story. "larry elder is the black face of white supremacy" read a newspaper. you've been warned. busted! head of the "l.a. times" discover this? it took real journalism. there were none of the so-called telltale signs. no one caught him re-segregating water fountains were burning a cross on somebody's lawn. no, it was far more subtle than that and much more dangerous. instead, larry elder publicly insisted on exercising his constitutional rights and then running for political
10:02 pm
office. worse and more damning, larry elder criticize the leadership of the democratic party of california. even went so far as to run against the sitting governor gavin newsom, and that is how you know that larry elder is a white supremacist. he challenged an incompetent liberal white guy who is personal friends with nancy pelosi and that, ladies and gentlemen, is what racism is. the question is, now that we know this can larry elder win anyway? we will find out in three weeks. if he's elected he will not only be the first black governor of california, he will also be the most popular state official in recent memory. that is the interesting thing. for a purported democracy, california has a long history of electing people when polls show just about everyone who lives there hates. it's a strange kind of democracy that way. dianne feinstein for example has represented the state of california in the u.s. senate for nearly 30 years and yet, her approval rating is
10:03 pm
just 30%, yet somehow, she keeps her job anyway. kamala harris did the same thing. 70% of their voters said they supported her and that makes you wonder how she got elected to anything in the first place, but don't ask. a question like that would be what we call the big lie, so shut up and accepted. the interesting thing is that california voters don't technically have to accept it because a century ago voters in that state amended the constitution to allow the recall of demonstrably awful politicians who had unfortunately taken office. let's say you had a pompous low iq governor who was totally incapable of managing his own empty personal life but at the same time for his own purpose reasons it seemed intent on destroying the entire state. what would you do with a guy like that? on september 14th of this year, next month, california voters will have a chance to
10:04 pm
fire him. they have a recall option. if a majority decides to recall gavin newsom than the replacement candidate who gets the most votes will become the governor and as of tonight, that is likely to be larry elder. larry elder could actually win. so no wonder the "l.a. times" is so upset. no wonder they dispatched a crack investigative team to discover he was secretly a white supremacist. even old gavin newsom who in the best of times it seems only vaguely aware of his surroundings, who has what they say in the military, no situational awareness" even that man has finally started to figure out he is in very serious trouble. >> larry elder is running away with this on the other side. what could happen on election day if we don't turn out in historic numbers to vote no on this recall. think about the judges he would
10:05 pm
appoint. who would we have appointed to replace kamala harris in the u.s. senate? how would that affect the trajectory of this country? what would this mean for the future of the democratic party? >> tucker: oh, did you see the fear in his botox-edi's? that, ladies and gentlemen, was a cry for help. guess who heard him, the median california, they immediately got to work. he is an actual line from the news division of the "l.a. times." one issue was his pronunciation of the n-word. he used an exaggerated tone, enunciating the "er" at the end of the word rather than using the a pronunciation which is more acceptable, studies have shown. really? by researchers, and who is actually finding these studies on the n-word and how it is
10:06 pm
pronounced? unfortunately, "the times" did not explain that. there was no footnotes. instead, it kept going. it dispatched one of its crack report is msnbc to report their findings. >> he says he doesn't believe that a sanctuary city laws for dreamer should be happening. he's against in-state tuition, health care and driver's license for the undocumented. how serious are the chances this guy could be the next governor of california? >> it's very serious because it's possible the majority of people who are going to turn out of the people who are excited by larry elder's brand of extreme far right beliefs and he just represents an incredible threat to immigrant rights and racial justice, immense progress that california has made on these issues and it would set a catastrophic precedent that would reverberate across the country appear to this is ironic.
10:07 pm
this is a black man. it goes to show that even people of color can fall victim to white supremacist narratives. >> tucker: that has got to be the greatest clip ever played on cable television ever! here you have the lady from the "l.a. times" explaining to the harvard race lady that the real problem is that voters might be too excited to vote for larry elder. they might be psyched about their own leader and that would set a terrible precedent. oh, yes, here's a black guy who's been brainwashed by the white man and voters might like it. that is a threat. this democracy thing is a threat. cnn is deeply concerned as well so cnn mobilized its goons as well, crack unit it describes is the leading investigative team for the social media mobile generation. if you could even imagine. what does the team find? they found more thought crimes. for example, and we are quoting here, larry elder even has
10:08 pm
challenged mainstream orthodoxy on subjects like violence against women. can you imagine? larry elder "even" challenged orthodoxy? yes, even orthodoxy, and not only that. cnn also discovered that elder had long relished making provocative comments in his time as a radio show host. wait, provocative comments too? when will this nightmare end? it's starting to sound like larry elder might not be just like everyone else in politics and that is disgusting. it is, as the "l.a. times" informed us, a terrifying trend. on the other hand it is entirely possible, trying to stay open-minded here, that some voters in california might like it. why would they like it? possibly because the people who currently run their state to have destroyed it completely. to name just one
10:09 pm
among many examples. those people have arbitrarily released 75,000 prison inmates including violent felons. the point of this of course was something called equity. never described but frequently on display. >> the free-for-all's like the one at this walgreens on what i have sparked with brazen thieves clearing shelves of food, cosmetics and over-the-counter drugs that are often resold on the street. recent busts of entire warehouses filled to the rafters with stolen drills, nail guns and other tools. a witness captured this wild scene on monday as a crowd of thieves stormed neiman marcus. no one was hurt but the group made off with handbags and other designer goods that will most likely be resold online where organized retail crime is thriving. >> tucker: they never do define equity, do they? the new president uses the word "equity" more than any other word in his inaugural. but what is it qwest mark it stealing, ripping off power tools from home
10:10 pm
depot, taking handfuls of lipstick from walgreens. it's stealing. what do we get here, how did we get here? this is what happens when you let the ideologues on twitter control your state. by the way, the social media revolutionaries are not simply in charge of justice policy in california, they've also taken complete charge of the energy grid. right. gavin newsom has ordered the state to transition to something called renewable, another term that is never defined, in nine years, by 2030. what is the result of this? it's a lot like what is happening to walgreens for the lights don't work, the air conditioning is dead. california frequently runs out of power. it's zimbabwe on the pacific. don't say that. tough, it is and everyone who lives there knows it unless you've got your own generator. but gavin newsom doesn't care. he just keeps destroying california. why does he hate california so much? in his first year as governor, homelessness, people
10:11 pm
living outside, defecating on the sidewalk, jumped 17%. in one county it jumped to 30% one year. if you been there recently. three years ago, an official from the u.n. came to san francisco, the city gavin newsom once ran as mayor, the city he promised to rid of homelessness. making it possible for women to jog in golden gate park again but he didn't. clearly he has seen a lot of bad places. he said california was so bad that what he said "constitutes cruel and inhuman treatment and is a violation of multiple human rights." was he overstating the case? here is what it looks like. >> this isn't camping, these are homes. >> guns, knives, fires, drug use day in and day out. >> you don't realize sometimes what you were living in the middle of until you see a video and you think, wait a minute, that is where i live. >> there is a cleanup today. >> this is the first one in months. months. this is not humane.
10:12 pm
>> if i was the councilman i would be down here right now, man, talking to you, talking to these people saying what are we going to do about this, man peer to speak of the city councilman has allowed him not to have a rock-bottom. >> tucker: did you see the races lady at the end complaining that there are mentally ill drug addicts right in front of her store? another white supremacist. why is this happening? you get what you put up with. it is the first thing to note. the second thing is california may be the only place in america where homelessness actually has a connection to housing prices. median home prices in
10:13 pm
california are $800,000, the first time it has happened ever. a lot of the reasons this is happening, massive foreign investment from china is one of them. no one is bothering to stop that because they are taking payoffs from real estate developers but the bottom line is normal people can't afford housing. what has gavin newsom done to help them? not one thing. he is spending time awarding free health care to hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals who sneak in illegal aliens. they have foreign passport but they get free health care from you. it's like a joke but it's not a joke. it's happening in our biggest state. next months recall may be the last chance to save the state of california and you should want that because it matters because it is our country. but it's also about something bigger than just our state. if the test of our democracy. the question is, do election still have meeting? are they still allowed to choose their leaders or does the "l.a. times" get to do that was wrecked as the party apparatus get to do that?
10:14 pm
do we have any power at all as citizens or are they going to steal it from us? if the answer is that they are going to steal it from us then we are in trouble. they quickly become radical pure democracies the safety relief valve that keeps our society placid. but when people think it's fake, they go bonkers because they have no power. they have nothing to lose. so it's in the interest of all of us that the state of california conducts a free and fair election next month with outside election observers. u.n., you're welcome too. because there are indications that it won't be free and fair. yesterday they announced they had found hundreds of stolen recalled ballots in someone's car. what were the bell is doing there? we don't know. maybe larry elder knows. he joins us right now. thanks so much for coming on.
10:15 pm
i am sorry to make fun of these letters that they have leveled against you but they are so ridiculous that it's probably a good sign, would you agree that maybe they are worried? >> they are scared to death, took a pretty only thing i would add to your wonderful entertaining monologue is this. they have declined reading and math scores, 70% of black boys cannot read at state levels of proficiency and those levels are low. half of all third-graders cannot and 80% of the kids educated in government schools in california are black and brown, the very once the left claims they care about. the polls show the majority of urban parents, black and brown want choice and education and that is one of the things they are scared to death about. i support that the money would follow the child, they would put their child in a private school, religious school or even homeschooling, dare i say and they are scared to death. the largest funder of my opponent, gavin newsom, the teachers union and they are the most powerful union in the state. >> tucker: one party states don't work. they didn't work in the state i was born in. that is true, it just doesn't work. what is so interesting is that the people who are defending our democracy, the check from "the new york times" and the race lady at msnbc, their terrified. that people might be
10:16 pm
dissatisfied with the offerings they have, why do you say you are against democracy, we are for oligarchy, shut up and take it. >> they ought to. and they can't defend his record. elizabeth warren cut a commercial for gavin newsom and talked about this being a republican takeover, didn't say anything at all about the rise in crime, people leaving california and just today, long reported by the hoover institution that shows that the rate at which businesses are leaving california for the first six months of this year is twice the rate at which they've left in the last three years and it's across the board. manufacturing, aerospace and finance and even tech. they thought it would always remain in california, they are leaving as well and citing the cost of living here in california, taxes and regulation which are all through the roof. >> tucker: elizabeth warren should be ashamed of herself. how could any normal person who is not visually impaired go to los angeles or san francisco, two of our greatest
10:17 pm
cities, in my opinion, and say things are fine, it is great. this looks great, i'm really happy with it. how can they say that? >> it's all his friends, and that's why he's raised almost $50 million to defeat me. they are coming from big tech, they are coming from hollywood, the teachers union in the public sector's union which are extremely powerful in california. he's raised $50 million and is probably going to spend $55 million, he's going to outspend 5:1 and that is why i'm asking people to throw a little something in the tip jar because i have expenditure limitations. he can raise and spend an unlimited amount of money and he is doing just that. >> tucker: if they are calling you a white supremacist it tells you everything about their sincerity. they will say anything -- yeah. >> the black face of white supremacy. >> tucker: it makes me mad on your behalf.
10:18 pm
i've taken a lot of that myself. they need to be overthrown, is the bottom line, and godspeed and i hope you do it. larry elder, thank you. >> absolutely, appreciate it, god bless. >> tucker: what a disaster this last week has been for the united states even if you fervently wanted the military out of afghanistan because it wasn't helping, getting out really, really hurt us. so who did it help? only one country obviously helped and that is china. they just announced a new plan to take advantage of the chaos they are. we will tell you what it is straight ahead. and now on tuckercarlson.com you can order a signed copy. we've got a few left. we will be right back. ♪ ♪ can order a signe. if you left. we will be right back. .com.

10:23 pm
>> tucker: want to bring you back on a fox news alert, the supreme court has just ruled that the biden administration must reinstate the previous administration's policy on remaining in mexico. that required asylum-seekers from central america to wait outside our borders while the u.s. government process their claims report. you can't just fly them into people's neighborhoods and call them a day, you can do that.
10:24 pm
shortly after taking office, joe biden started doing that. he suspended the remain in mexico policy by executive order. because of that decision, illegal migrants from foreign countries have flooded by the millions into the united states. apprehension at the southwestern border at their highest levels ever and that policy is back on the books. the question is, will the biden administration ignore it? because who cares? it is just the supreme court. on monday, china's foreign ministry suggested they will provide financial assistance to the new government of afghanistan, the taliban. the main perpetrator of chaos inside that country, a positive role in the new taliban government. a senior advisor in the last administration and we're happy to have him tonight. thanks so much for coming on. the government of china directly funding the taliban. are you surprised by
10:25 pm
this and why do you think they would do that? >> not surprised, we will see if it actually happens, but china's dirty little secret is they really liked us in afghanistan considering the alternatives because china, as has been widely reported, has more than a million muslims in reeducation camps, is what they call them, in western china. so far, a lot of muslims have not cared too much about this, persians and iran, arabs in the gulf don't seem to exercise but if there was a group of muslims who might be upset by this and might wage violent against china it would be fellow east turkic type peoples, potentially trained or transited through afghanistan so china is very worried about next door. >> tucker: interesting peers you don't think this is primarily a play for mineral resources in afghanistan, it's a way to deal with the destabilizing effect of this muslim population? >> i think it is both. the idea that afghanistan will
10:26 pm
be a mass exporter of really useful minerals, hydrocarbons et cetera, it's been around for a while, there was a survey that showed an enormous amount of potential in afghanistan but it takes capital, takes roads, takes investment. in workers who are able to keep an industrial type lifestyle. none are really going to be present in afghanistan and none really have so it is always a possibility there could be something there but it is doubtful. >> tucker: i've got to ask really quick and i should probably know the answer to this but do you think a lot of other governments will recognize the taliban as a legitimate form of government? >> i think probably pretty quickly. china, russia early on. others in the gulf have had very good relations with their interface with the world and they've been acting in ways that are pragmatic. i would hate to have to defend on that but the fact that all it would take to close down the kabul airport is to
10:27 pm
disrupt operations of people i think, others will probably recognize them within a couple years. >> tucker: that is a fair point, i appreciate you coming on, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> tucker: if you're interested in knowing more about the dynamic within afghanistan which is confusing, no one explains it better, we think, than larra logan. she was on a recent episode of "tucker carlson today." on fox nation. tomorrow we will have eric prince on the show. interesting, interesting conversation. we will spend an awful lot of time there. meanwhile, january 6th commission is kicking into high gear. every bit as insane and authoritarian as you even imagine a probably more so. they've just announced subpoenas for the phone and text records of members of congress. can that be allowed? looks like it is happening. one of those members being targeted joins us after the break. ♪ ♪ r the break. p ♪ ♪ t ♪ ♪
10:33 pm
>> tucker: so the january 6th commission will not answer any basic questions about what happened that day and why. who shot ashley babbitt, how many fbi informants were in the crowd, what they are holding from us. we are not going to find out any of that, shut up and obey. but what they are going to find out is subpoenaed the phone
10:34 pm
records of sitting members of congress. it doesn't matter. adam schiff, natural authoritarian if there ever was one, is fully on board with this. speak of the committee chair confirming to cnn that he wants telecom companies to preserve phone records of several people including members of congress. kevin mccarthy, jim jordan spoke with trump on january 6th. whose records do you want to see? >> i'm going to leave it as you might imagine to the chairman to make this disclosure is public in a formal announcement but i can tell you this, we intend to be very thorough. we want to know exactly what took place before january 6th that led to that tragic day. >> tucker: jim banks represents indiana in the united states congress and he is apparently one of the republicans whose phone records will be grabbed.
10:35 pm
he is definitely one serving on the commission on the first place. he joins us now, thanks so much for coming on. so this does seem without precedent, it seems like a threat to the legitimacy of our government. who you talk to is nobody's business. an important principle here, is there anything you can do to stop this as a member of congress? >> first of all, this is an abuse of power by congress we have never seen before. that nancy pelosi, speaker of the house would weaponize her power in congress to spy on her political opponents is something that is unthinkable in our system of government and that is exactly what she's doing. nancy pelosi and progressive colleagues have done more to damage american democracy over the last eight months than any group. of capital rioters, or rioters ever could achieve.
10:36 pm
but what can we do to stop it? when we win back the majority we have a duty as republicans to hold every member of this committee accountable for this abuse of power for stepping over the line, by taking them off any committee, getting them as far away from positions of power as you can because they have shown us by threatening to do this they are going to use their power wherever they are. >> tucker: i wonder if there's anything to do in the meantime. should they really be allowed to violate your privacy, the privacy of any of us? to help any of the american sitting in solitary confinement for trespassing, can you leak the contents of those video recording so we can know for ourselves what happened. this is crazy. >> it is crazy but they are already doing it. the biden administration partnering with big tech companies. it's one thing to spy on members of congress, they are spying on you and everyone who is watching this show tonight because they deem all of u.s. domestic extremists.
10:37 pm
if you voted for donald trump you are a domestic extremist. if you support the second amendment you are a domestic extremist. if you believe the borders should be closed, you are a domestic extremist. i could go on and on and on but that is what they believe. there partnering with big tech companies, using algorithms to spy on all of your social media in doing it, with the help of foreign countries as well, so i don't know how we stop it other than win back the majority in the midterm election and repeal section 230 and break up of these big tech companies and the enormous power that they have. >> tucker: a lot of people watching have lost faith in the leadership of the republican party to fight back and stand up for them and for good reason. but this is a case where members of congress need to stand up for themselves. do you think this has awakened a lot of republicans who have been chamber of commerce guys, that these big companies are against you and distinguishing democracy and freedom in our country?
10:38 pm
>> not just that, but the unprecedented abuse of power by the house. speaker of the house. with everything going on in afghanistan and capitol hill this week, most of my republican colleagues have no idea this is happening. they are about to find out about it in this serves as a wake-up call to all republicans that these authoritarian democrats aren't playing a game, they are out to destroy you and all of us who disagree with nancy pelosi and any of you who believe something different than what they believe. >> tucker: i don't think anything he said was over statement and i appreciate you saying it. congressman, thanks. quick news alert, we want to let you know that we just received a tip that adam kinzinger was seated on a bench in downtown washington overlooking dupont circle? why was he crying? we can only suspect it was the profound homily of life. perhaps he is what pg woodhouse described as a sensitive plant. he feels too much. it's too much for him. he can't stand the meanness of
10:39 pm
the world, the insensitivity, cruelty of his fellow man. we don't know. maybe he looked into the yawning abyss of his soul and burst into tears. if you know, contact us. all we know is, he is crying. again. it's widely known that big tech is effectively a branch of the democratic party. they are funding a lot of the democratic party satellite groups but it turns out many supposedly conservative organizations are also taking money from big tech and doing it secretly. we will tell you who is taking the money and what it's buying. next. ♪ ♪

10:47 pm
are they doing with it? the american principles project has got the numbers. they found many left-wing organizations and dozens of supposedly conservative groups are in fact funded by silicon valley. who are they? the heritage foundation, the brookings institution and "the federalist" society. the director of the american principles project, a project that actually has principles and we are delighted to have him join us tonight. thanks a lot for doing this research and for telling us about it. groups that a lot of our viewers send their money to in the hopes that those groups will defend them are also taking money from facebook and google and apple? >> right. there's a lot of these conservative groups, pro-free-market groups and this is an open secret in washington but to this point there hasn't really been research to show how broad this is and we found more than 400 organizations, academic centers et cetera, groups that have a great deal of influence
10:48 pm
on capitol hill all taking money from google, amazon, facebook, apple and of course, with that money comes the willingness to launder those company's talking points and promote their preferred policies. obviously this has an effect, certainly on the democrats but we found it has an effect on republicans in congress. had these are just private companies, they can do whatever the heck they want. well, those are google talking points, facebook talking points and it gets laundered through this ecosystem and that is how these companies have major influence in d.c. >> tucker: but this just seems like the definition of corruption. they are taking money from planned parenthood or peter was taking money from the producers he would say whoa, whoa, wait a second, that is corrupt. why haven't we seen news stories pointing out, these groups are clearly, at least ideologically corrupt by definition.
10:49 pm
>> there is an effort to try to promote that kind of transparency but it's the mainstream media. a lot of these media outlets are also funded by big tech companies and don't forget the politicians. the politicians as well are funded by these groups, these organizations, these companies as well and that obviously has an impact on what is happening in congress. republicans, we see it all the time, they might even take off of their jacket and pound on the table to tell you how mad they are about big tech but under the table they are trying to kill the bills that are going to be before the house next month to break up big tech. these are republicans that ostensibly are preaching to their base they are doing something about big tech and they are not. they are trying to do the opposite, actually. >> tucker: like "the washington post," owned by jeff bezos or "the atlantic" magazine which is owned by steve jobs' widow, they are not going to report on this
10:50 pm
and indict themselves. it's kind of a closed system, isn't it? >> this is what happens when you have truly dollar companies taking the lead in every sector of society. >> tucker: thank you. i appreciate it. if the debacle in afghanistan continues to mesmerize us, joe biden has been very busy transforming this country. in particular, its court system. not many people are noticing this but one republican center is often promoted by conservatives is helping joe biden do it. we will tell you who that is straight ahead. ♪ ♪

it turns out the biden administration has been completely remaking the federal judiciary is the rest of us have been focused on afghanistan. in just the past three months without anyone noticing it at all the administration has gotten on the remarkable number of its judges through peer joe biden has nominated 33 of them and nine of those judges have already been confirmed and many will soon follow. no president in the past 40 years has come close to these numbers in his first term. many of these judges and biden administration will admit this are full blown political activists. they are ideologues, who joe biden has appointed to the second most important court in the united states. anyone who wants voter i.d. according to perez must be a racist. right before confirmation, he
10:57 pm
railed against the "g.o.p. campaign" to make elections less free, less free, showing estate ideas you do to get on an airplane or by sudafed at walgreens. you would expect the biden administration to flood the judiciary with lunatics like this for they want power and partisan judges will make sure that partisan power goes completely unchecked. here's what you wouldn't expect and that is one of the most prominent members of the so-called conservative party to spend his time helping the biden administration do that. that is exactly what has happened. this summer, every republican on the panel voted no except for one. you know who that was? it was lindsey graham of south carolina. why would lindsey graham support the confirmation of someone like warren or perez? to answer that question, this is hardly an isolated case.

we checked. lindsey graham is the only republican on the judiciary committee who has not voted to reject a single judge the biden administration has proposed, no matter how crazy they are. for procedural reasons and a senate split 50/50, his supported matters very much. ten aides tell us that because of lindsey graham, one man, the biden administration is able to rush its nominees through the senate confirmation process faster than any other president in memory. the most radical president of our lifetime is the most judges confirmed thanks to lindsey graham. those nominees include someone that many democrats hope to see in the supreme court soon. that would be an activist, he spent the last four years writing political orders for the benefit of jerry nadler and nancy pelosi peer brown once wrote an opinion comparing the previous administration to an illegal monarchy. the decision was so crazy that the d.c. court of appeals which leans to the left reversed it not once but twice.

but it was good enough for lindsey graham who voted in favor of brown's confirmation that is because lindsey graham come in case you didn't notice, spent most of last year begging for your moaning. on all hours of cable television has no problem installing judges who hate his constituents and you shouldn't be surprised by that. a few years ago graham admitted in an interview with politico that is over writing ambition was to "stay relevant." not to represent his motives or keep the left from destroying the country but to ingratiate himself with the people in power and advance his own interests. in that respect lindsey graham has done exactly what he said he would. the question is, why are conservatives continuing to promote him and allowing him to continue to sit on the judiciary committee? we would love to ask that question of lindsey graham himself. we have asked him many times to come on the show but he refuses because he is afraid and that is a shame, that would be a very interesting facts-conversation.
